Good to see these people are still so brainwashed they can't see the rear end ramming they're getting.

I just really can't get over how they see any criticism at all as trolling and then call people children for making legitimate complaints about this piece of crap. Holy crap what the gently caress is wrong with these peoples brains.

Apparently Kickstarter did a thing where they found that 10% of successful kickstarters don't fulfill their promises.

http://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=2699251

The research was done by a third party and looked at 30,000 kickstarters.

Also at least like three different "big name" streamers I watch on Twitch have been like "I backed Star Citizen on Kickstarter but what the gently caress are they doing and why the gently caress is it taking so long?"

10% is honestly way better than I was expecting.

Hey so Amazon released their own free engine. it's based on cryengine.

Are we going to see a Facebook game engine soon? Maybe a Google game engine? Why do these companies that have never had anything to do with gaming or gaming development before think they can just throw their money at it and be successful? I mean for fucks sake they chose to build it off of CryEngine, that's evidence enough they're a gaggle of morons.

Just off the top.

Paid mods are going to happen and at first I was angry about too but thinking on it more it sounds like not that bad of an idea. You'd even begin to see businesses grow around modding, where people can be hired to put the time and effort into creating complete and robust mods for various games. Kneejerk reactions to things because they're different is no way to be.

They keep pushing the "It's an Alpha!" line, but here's the thing - people are not new to Alphas. The cultists trumpet this viewpoint as if SC is the first ever game to allow plebs to peer behind the curtain and see a game at this stage of development, but that's a bunch of bullshit. People today have access to pre-alphas, alphas, betas, poo poo even really early access titles that have almost no content at all. And in every case, except Star Citizen, you can see that even if the game is buggy, or featureless, that underneath it is an engine that will eventually be built and polished into a completed game.

Star Citizen is the only alpha title I've ever experienced where minutes into the "game" I was able to say, with considerable confidence, "Nope. This isn't gonna work." You can tell from a million things that this foundation is literally crumbling under its own weight, and even the few parts that work, don't really work the way they should. It's broken on a very fundamental level, and no amount of bugfixes will ever result in what they're pitching. 2.0, 2.1, 2.2 - all poo poo. I'm glad to see that CIG can count, but they sure as poo poo can't make a game.

This is what I've been thinking. This game is so fundamentally flawed and to put really terrible management with it, this game wont come out in any meaningful way. They'll try to salvage something most likely and claim some group of reasons as to why the game had to be limited but they'll call it complete.

Also the wet fart that SQ42 is going to be.

Cost of living is radically different depending on where you live/work.

Play money also ranges. I do not understand how some people can't grasp that a certain sum of money to one person is a mortgage payment, and to another person it was last night's dinner tab.

Yes there are people spending their mortgage in fake ships and that's sad, but there are also people spending what amounts to last night's dinner and they don't give a gently caress because they don't have to.

It's like I tell people at the lunch table when upper management spend their cash on things. It's their play money, they can spend it however they want. You wouldn't want someone telling you how to spend your play money.

Because people that would waste that kind of money on stupid bullshit while others are literally starving in the streets should be the first against the wall and executed in the middle of the streets.

He's an idiot anyways. If you had no other source of light, you'd use a flashlight. The cardinal rule of "don't aim at stuff [...] destroy blah blah" is dumb if you're in a combat zone. If your standard firearm requires two hands to carry, you're kinda obligated to point your gun where your light is going, unless you really want to use your sidearm in the opening movement of an engagemargh these loving shitizens are so dumb!

You're still trained to not aim at anything you don't intend to destroy in the infantry as of 2010 at least. There are a lot of rules to follow when it comes to engagement, and that's part of trying to maintain or develop a professional military. Also we always wore three point slings so we just let our rifles rest against our chest if we needed to use our hands. The sling kept it in a position it was quick to engage if need be.

Star Citizen can't even get 2010 tech in their space game, see also drones and remote operated turrets.

I don't agree with this at all, you can make compelling technologically advanced combat. It's not going to be dogfighting as we think of it, but close engagement with advanced tech is totally doable with even a little imagination, which Chris has none.

Coming to this from 5 pages back: What branch were you "infantry" in?

When I went through training the thought was, in any situation where unknowns were present, you had your weapon up and at the ready while moving through a house/building and really only deviated from that position to avoid extreme flagging of your squad mates. If we moved into a house and needed to utilize our flashlights for any number of reasons, it was violence of action and not sneaking around in the dark that kept us alive. The flashlights stayed on.

It was also incredibly rare to see someone actually using the issued 3 point sling when a one-point provided the same maneuverability without the potential for becoming snagged or looped in your gear.

172nd mountain infantry attached to the 10th mountain divison. We were a company sized element that did a lot of training on assaulting mountains and cliffs and operating at night with nods or red light at most, we always avoided regular flashlights, at least when I was in. Maybe things have changed by now. We were trained to do room clearing and urban assault stuff but we were mostly mountain men.
